ASKING FOR CREDIT CARD AT CHECK-iN

Friends of mine arrived at the check-in desk at Gibraltar for the BA flight to Gatwick, they had already booked their seats and paid for their flights some 11 months (yes!) earlier. After showing their passports a member of staff - presumably Gibair Handling - asked to see and scan their credit card which they had paid for their seats which they found most odd. They said to the check-in person they were not carrying the same credit card which they had booked the tickets, on hearing this they said they might have to pay again for the seats at the price on the day! Apparently there were only 30-odd passengers on the flight. After some huffing and puffing they were given their boarding cards and sent on their way so to speak.
Has anybody else heard of this - me thinks I smell a bit of a rat here!
Comments please
